• Verify and capture forms on the SVIS (Security Vetting Information System)
• Administer safes and keys
• Consolidate clearance certificates or reports received from the SSA
• Administer the screening of all service providers

TIPS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR APPLICATION
• Make sure your PSIRA Grade B certificate is clearly stated upfront — it's a non-negotiable requirement for this role.
• Highlight any direct experience with vetting systems or processes, particularly anything resembling the SVIS system referenced in the duties.
• Mention experience handling sensitive or classified documentation, since clearance certificate consolidation and safe/key administration are core duties.
• Reference the Minimum Information Security Standard directly if you've worked within its framework before.
• Note this role requires a valid driver's licence, unlike some of the other security posts in this circular where it's only an advantage — make sure yours is current.
• Submit a single combined PDF with your Z83 and CV, quoting reference HR4/26/06/12HO precisely.
• Prepare for both pre-entry assessments — practical and integrity-based — required of all shortlisted candidates.
